connda Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 5 hours ago, Bkk Brian said: Four people recently died in Russia shortly after taking the Sputnik V anti-corona jab in previously unreported cases, which are being taken "seriously" by the EU regulator, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in Amsterdam. https://euobserver.com/world/151483 If people die after a Sputnik vaccination the Western media dog-piles the story with hyperbole and vitriol. If people die after taking an AstraZenaca vaccine (or any vaccine developed in the West) then the stories get buried, and should they surface, discounted and tossed down the MSM memory hole. This is about Geo-politics and finding fault with what the West infers are their "enemies" while ignoring what transpires in their own backyard. "Enemies" - countries who have their own self-interests that are aligned to a multi-polar world vs a uni-polar hegemon. Although a Buddhist, I think Jesus did have insights that we, as the brotherhood of man, should perhaps attempt to emulate. This sums the West's criticisms of all things Russia and China pretty well:"“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the stick in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a stick in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the stick out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye." 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boogiewoogie Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 6 minutes ago, Bkk Brian said: You fail at slang, try using polite debate? I'm aware of the reports of the talks they had, I've also just posted for you another option they have, especially if the EU regulator does not approve Sputnik, as its all dependent on that. At the moment that is under question. "We can confirm that all reports are treated seriously by the EMA and assessed directly," an EMA spokeswoman told EUobserver on Thursday, referring to the RosPotrebNadzor files on deaths and other complications. "In this particular case, the report hints to the safety of the vaccine, which is a fundamental aspect to be evaluated both during the ongoing rolling review and in the assessment subsequent to the filing of a marketing authorisation application. For this reason, we cannot comment at this stage on the facts narrated in the [RosPotrebNadzor] report," she added. https://euobserver.com/world/151483 So as above EMA (EU regulator) needs to sort out many issues yet. Ok, I politely telling u A. All vaccines are easy to produce. It's not rocket science. If u have a flu vaccine it's easy to remodel it for covid use. Russia has its own flu vaccine, as many more other countries. B. Russia said it's Vaccine is a good jab. Lancet in a way proved it. Countries are still buying it. Even some EU countries still buying it. Russia outsourced it to many countries to produce. South Korea, india etc. C. Only "democracy approved, novichok free" vaccine is a Phizer vaccine. AZ compromised, moderna is nowhere near Phizer in PR ratings. Good jab, but failing to produce in enough quantities. That's why people in Estonia crossing border with Russia to get a "dictator" Sputnik. D. Phizer is used as a political tool. You can be absolutely sure about it. Try to be a small country president who is trying to secure Phizer shipping. "We call u next week", "u in a queue" and other BS. All this BS while States proudly reporting on "200 mil jabs and counting" U either a 51 state, or u on ur own. E. Sputnik comes with obligations? Oh yeah! No surprise Prayut said about good relations between countries. He knows it's not a one time shipping. And if u want to be sure jabs are coming u need to be cool with a seller. But good for him to have many sellers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what counts. D. Pfizer is a political tool? Come on. The US put big money on the line in January 2020. Why didn't other countries put big money down then to secure vaccines? Right....

Flu vaccines are made by many countries including Thailand but they've not produced a covid vaccine because of it. B. Lancet gave a good interim phase 3 study summary. Before anyone makes conclusions the final study also needs to be published. C. I'll ignore the propganda remark on this point ie "novichok free" . Pfizer was developed by Germany who then partnered with Pfizer. AZ is not compromised, its doing its job and helping the world fight the virus. D. Pfizer being used as a political tool? E. Why would any vaccine come with obligations? So thanks I've addressed and responded to your points, please respond to my only point below: Has Russia ever considered providing Sputnik at cost price, the same as Astrazeneca or J&J. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do your really think that institutes which are under control of western countries may approve Russian vaccine? AZ has lower efficiency, more side effects and already accepted by WHO. At the same time about 60 countries interested with Sputnik based on own tests. Currently in the Russia already vaccinated ~6 500 000 peoples. About 4 000 000 got first dose. There is not declared serious side effects. You are looking for Sputnik information in a wrong places. Western sources never will publish comprehensive and reliable information about Russian vaccine. It looks like you are a good virologist, and all 60 countries are worthless. Edited April 23, 2021 by Dmitry2222 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The established global health authorities won't recognize our nationalistic branded vaccine even if it is safe and effective. They don't like us. They don't like Putin. They don't want us to have good publicity for political reasons. Are they right? I don't think so. I think the world including the WHO does want the Sputnik vaccine as long as it's proven to be safe and effective. Just like any other vaccine. Desperate for any such vaccines actually!
